yeah, I believe that Lion, by replacing "Spaces" with "Mission Control" 
made some havoc with workspaces management.

  Yes, why not? With Snow Leopard and "Spaces" that was ordinary 
switching of workspaces, runs with VMWare, ThinLinc etc.
   If you have multiple workspaces available, you want to jump from one 
to another unrestricted. On big, major advantage of Linux/Mac OS over 
Windows.

   Thanks Aaron,
